Her selection follows the announcement by Ashton MP David Heyes that he will be stepping down at the next General Election.

Angela, who lives in Stockport but is hoping to relocate to Tameside, said: “I’m really pleased and honoured to be selected by the people of Ashton, Droylsden and Failsworth to represent their views in Parliament, hopefully for 2015.
